'Dancing with the Stars': Is Bristol Palin this season's Kate Gosselin?
According to insiders, Season 11 "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Bristol Palin has already earned Kate Gosselin's rep for being -- how can we put this -- a little difficult to work with."Bristol was really annoyed by all the questions about whether her mom (Sarah Palin) would be in the audience to support her," a source tells the Hollywood Reporter. "She kept complaining about the amount of press she had to do. She is acting like this is all a big pain."
Bristol also has definite ideas about how she's going to dress that may conflict with the show's costumer's ideas. She's already told People that she's not going to be flashing flesh.
"I think I will be the most dressed [contestant and have] the most modest outfits for sure because that's who I am."
Like Kate did last season, Bristol freely admits that she has zero dance experience. "But I come from an athletic background, so I'm thankful for that."
And also like Kate, a determined Bristol plans to set an example for all the moms watching the show. "Yes, we can balance work and family, and we can also take on a new and exciting challenge," she tells Radaronline.
Will she be as big a flop at footwork as Kate was? Kate -- who admits she was the worst contestant ever -- has already given Bristol some advice (on ET) about how to do her famous pushing a shopping cart move.
Wonder what unlucky dancer will get to work with Bristol. Let's hope it's not Kate's former dance partner Tony Dovolani. Give the poor guy a break!

Annoyed by questions about her mother? What the hell does Bristol think she's "famous" for anyway? What has she accomplised other than getting knocked up while still in high school? Star? GMAFB!
YEA MODEST MY FOOT HOW WAS HER KID CONCEIVED BY IMMACULATE CONCEPTION?
SHE IS JUST AS GOOFY AS HER MOTHER......
Atleast she doesn't get drunk and lick chesseburgers off the floor like "The Hoff", or isn't always complaining like that ugly moose Margret Cho. Of this current group she is one of the few that doesn't make my skin crawl.
@ GEORGIA...The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with conceiving a child without having sex. The Immaculate Conception was the conception of the Virgin Mary without any stain of original sin.
I thought the Immaculant Conception was the conception of Jesus. Learn something everyday. Meanwhile back to Bristol - she seems like a nice girl but I wish she would just get a good education so she can provide for her son - that goes for Levi too but he's hopeless.
The more you guys hate on her, the more people love her.
Interesting to see what prism you folks view things thru.
Cause what I'm reading is:
DWTS doesnt take care of its people properly. They inadequately prepared/explained the amount of press Bristol would have to do, thereby leaving this seasons youngest and least celebrity savy in this swarm.
Also, nice to see that the priority is not making contestants feel comfortable in costume, but showing skin is the goal.
And its great to see the compassionate liberals again being uncompassionate. Wonder what uncompassionate things youll say when she does well or doesnt do well, because as we all have seen, either way Bristol wont win you over with your biases.
apparently no one has heard the expression "your reputation precedes you" ...
Media vs Bristol? Gibe me a break. Its funny how the people who obtain fame in the most underserving ways, i.e. Kate having 8 kids, Bristol being the daughter of a failed VP candidate and GOP darling, are the most demanding and bitchy.
Undeserved fame leads to undeserved demands.
Seriously, how is this crazy woman a star? She gets pregnant at an early age, doesn't marry and has a neurotic mother and yet she's a star? Only in America! Best advice...don't watch this show as it's going downhill like AI is right now. Unbelievable!!!
